I had to postpone it!

This is the excuse our lame PM has to come up with when it's increasingly clear that the annual Christian-Muslim dialogue which is supposed to be held here on May 7-11 was cancelled at the 11th hour because the somebody (or some group) in the government felt it is not opportune to hold it this year.

And to further insult the intelligence of Malaysians, he goes on to claim that he merely asked for the seminar to be delayed so that he could attend because, in his own words:

"I have an important role to play in that conference so I don't want it to be held while I am not around," he added.

What that important role is he did not say, and I do not want to speculate. But to think that the government knew about this seminar since last year, and have given it tacit approval to be held here, it is inexplicable that the PM schedule wouldn't have included this. Even if he has some more "important" things to attend to, does it warrant cancelling the entire thing, or "postpone" it in his own words, and causing multitude of wasted funds and time for the organizers and attendees? Anyway, the organizers are looking to other countries to hold the seminar now. So much for Islam Hadhari.

Perhaps it just goes to show the true colour of this man, and his sense of priorities. After all, this is the man who showed up for only a few hours when Johor was facing its worst flood in decades, and decided opening a Nasi Kandar restaurant in Perth is more important. Incidentally, since the PM is supposed to be superstitious, I hope the closure, or bungkus, of that said Nasi Kandar restaurant would speed up the exit of this increasingly inept and idiotic man. If the US has their Dubya, Malaysians have our own Bodohwi.
